Opening Night Of FIDé Fashion Week 2013 - Pierre Balmain

Hi Huneybees,

Tonight, FIDé Fashion Week kicked off with a runway show by Pierre Balmain, featuring their prêt-à-por·ter Men's and Women's latest collection. Other than the 2 classy gowns we see above, the collection also featured some interesting prints alongside this season's must-have leather jackets and pants.

The convention hall in Marina Bay Sands was overflowed with fashionista-s who came to popular French label. Did you know our iconic uniform of the Singapore Airlines Girl was created by Pierre Balmain himself?!

Known for sophistication and elegance and being seen on celebrities and prominent ladies like Angelina Jolie, Penélope Cruz, Alexandra Kerry, Tatiana Sorokko, Kate Moss and Kristin Davis, I expected something a little more glam and evening ready. So imagine my disappointment when I realize the collection showcased was more of daily wear (instead of the last 2 gowns in the end)... =(

On a side note, here's a pic of my outfit today as well as my makeup using the Urban Decay Vice 2 Palette and M.A.C. RiRi Lipstick - Talk That Talk.

Disney Crop Top from UK, G-Shock Killer Gerbil Watch, Mphosis Bracelet and Skirt (tailor made).

And MCM fans! Scream for this MCM decorated room, I bet RAIN and G-Dragon will be using it as their interview areas!

Super cute right?! I want this living room!!!
